    Kind of makes you wonder what sort of system they have if a few pics loading would slow their machines so much. Actually, I've never had a problem with loading any page. And I have been on strictly graphical forums where the average sig image is significantly larger that what you guys see here.
    Like I said before, it's slow on my fast gamer systems on my 10-megabit line. Plus, the way the stylesheet renders the page, it tends to jump as non-image-sized placeholders are readjusted for the actual image. I'm sorry, but it's not my systems. Find another scapegoat.

  3. I can't hate the new forums any more, because I've seen both Lady Athyna =and= KaliMagdalene. If it's brought them back, it can't be that bad.

    Get back to me when you've changed reality, and I'll call you a genius.

    This is freakin' awesome. And I don't even play on Freedom or Virtue. It just shows on how many levels they are constantly trying to improve the game.

  9. For me, they generally show up on the day of, after server maintenance. But, yes, some people have had to /petition to get their vet award activated. Give it a day or two just to make sure, but don't worry about sending in a petition if it doesn't show up by then.

    And if a mission gets reported by a lot of people, guess what? It's probably a farm.
    QFT. Especially if a mission (it's never an arc) has a default contact and little or no text.

    DISLIKES
    • Signature images...just don't like them (particularly when someone with a sig image posts a one line post). I'm among those who would like the option to turn off signature images while keeping images in the body of the post turned on.
    I edited the post, but click on the NONEXISTENT icon to see the original. My question is: Why is the post body text a smaller font size than the list item text? (Since it's already huge enough as it is.)

    Edit: Or, more appropriately, why is the list item text a larger font size?

    Regarding signature images, I hear what everyone is saying. I wanted to disable just sig images but keep post images. But I decided to disable images anyway, and you know what? I like it much better than I thought I would. If I want to see an image in a post (which shows up as the underlined URL), I just click the mouse wheel to open it in a new tab. A workaround, yes, but like I said, better than expected.

On the old boards it would reflect that for the guides section, but the other sections would not change until I went into them specifically. Does anyone know if there's a way to change that here?
    I HATE THIS. And it does it for the section you're in too. It seems to say, "Hey, you've been here long enough, I'm marking all these threads as 'Already Read' to save you to the trouble!"

    Also, PK, any tips on making the forums faster? They're currently the display/posting version of the Positron TF.

  18. Now, is there a way to keep the forums from updating your current cookies or something? I've only been here a few hours, and threads I haven't read yet are already flagged as read, and clicking the triangle takes me 3/4 the way down the thread.

    In no particular order....

    1. The Vault
    2. Tearing Down/Removal of the War Walls
    3. Cathedral of Pain
    4. Working Arena Tourney's
    5. Arena Wagering/Gambling (I really thought this was a feature of i4, but looking at old notes, I swear things have been truncated)
    6. Incarnate EAT
    7. IoP's
    8. Resetting the Chess Style Ranking System
    9. Working 75 vs 75
    10. A reason why HO's reduced to 33% even though ED was eventually put into place, even though the reason for reducing it was because there was no ED.
    And some people wonder why the devs don't say anything about what they're working on any more. I'm guessing it's because of posts like this, years after the fact.

  22. I actually had trouble getting a team on Sunday. (I'd been forming teams all weekend and running radio missions.) After 20 minutes of not getting any replies, or "no thanks", I gave up.

    Luckily a global channel started an ITF. Fortuitous!

  24. I got my Ice/Cold defender from 44 to 50. He's been around a while, since he has the 4-year anniversary badge.

    Also made a killing on the market selling all my salvage for 5 influence.
